TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 18fl. I.ocofoco Stuto Convention. To-morrow, the Locofoco State Convention will assemble in this city, to make their nominations fur the Slate ticket. Delegate are beginning in nssemble.'hnu' candidates are on hand, ready to do ilia agreeoblo to tho sovereigns as they arrive. Wo presume Gov. Wood will be renominated by general consent. For Lieutenant Governor, wo think the chance for Mkdiij. it the hunt, though Vali.anohj-ham will have warm supporters. Either of them would make fair candidates. For Auditor, thero are sovernl claimants. I)ihmick was nominated by the caucus last winter, when the election took place ill the Legislature, and when it was very properly supposed there was no chance for hit success, lint now that there is louiothingliko a chance, he will bo thrust aside, and nine now man selected. The truth in, the jmrty has no confidence in Dimmock, either fur enpneity or judgment. Seine one else will be selected. Fur Treasurer, wo think Holmes, of Cincinnati, will be the man. Uhkbun will fight hard for it ; but it in nnt forgotten that he belong! to that net of Young Men whu wanted to hold a Convention last spring, but who wore clinked oft by the Old Hunkers of the party. Bue-un will be beaten; murk that. For Secretary of Slate, tho candidates aro numerous, and among tliono who are on hand, wo notice our friend and old fellow towim man, Musk, of Morgnn. We have funned no opinion of tho prohablo nominee and will decline the tosk of guessing, to-day. I'teit will probably be nominated ai Attorney General. The candidates for Judges, &c, wo will auimumo on Thursday morning. We will goom, in advance, that Si'amhno will not be one ol them, lint, noifi verront. Whose Ihisiiicsn is it! The very darkest, moat dreary and most dangerous place in or about this city to he passed after night fall, is the bridge over tho Scioto. We have heanl of ncci dents there, and we know it would bo a capital pint for villian and cutlbrout scoundrels to con tin it depredations. Thin bridge ought to be lighted and mutt be. Wu nil ii 1 1 have the Stale Fair here in a tew weeks. Thousand will have occasion to pass the bridge from and to the cily, after dark. Teams w ill be passing ami re-paasitig during lbs Fair at all hours. We call the attention of our citizens to this subject. Our physicians, who aro compelled to cross the bridge idler durk, know nnd feel the Importance of lights therein, It thould be lighted with gus. A burner near each end, and one in tho middle, would be just the thing. The city should pay the ox pel inn, llm same as it does for the other lights ulmiit town.

A Word to Mm of nil I'iirlh". No sooner is it known that tho nomination of lion. Samuel F. Vinton will receive the united support of the Whig parly, and carry with it a tower of strength in securing the success nl the entire ticket, than the most untiring and unscrupulous means aro used and the most slanderous accusations are set utlut 1o injure Ilia good name and defeat bis election. We have not new the time or tho room to speak in dciail of the unfounded charges now being circulated to thocllect Hint he was opposed to the " Bounty Lund Hill ; " that he voted for the Fugitive Slave Law;" Unit "he has always beeu fugleman for Southern members" &.c, Arc those will he attended to in duo timo but we have before us an article coming from the mouth-piece nnd nrgnn of Gov. Wood, the Ckvtlnnti Plain Dealer, not only belioiug Mr. Vinton himself, but grosly slnn doring and insulting the population of the "glorious Old Twelfth District, " which deserves from m immediate and more than ordinary attention. H- ro is the article : " Samuel F Vinton, in aucioul limes, wits known as a little spectacled Lawyer, ot but imblb-rent abilities, residing in the notorious lilllo town of ialliolu, ot burst I mnk memory. Some twelve year ngo, lie was sent to Congress, where for a long timo his light was entirely hid, by being put under a hnhel, or eclipsed by those more radiant in abilities. At length, outliving most of his contemporaries, mid gelling thoroughly anpiainted with the rules of thn I louse, be became something of an adept an a ttetiiion, and was hiuhlv serviceaulo to the Old Hunkers, whenever they want ed to on tin ami ue, the rroi'rosaivoa and to stave ol) auv measure of reform. In this capacity, he haaalwnys been fugleman for Southern members, an the records ot debates in the Mouse lor Hie last lilletm years w abundantly show. He has stood bv them when not another Whig delegate from Ohio would, nnd has uniformly voted with them. He was the Southern candi date for Speaker when Winthrop ws elected ; but, by on arrangement, withdrew ami was apHiuied Chairman of tho most imiNirtaut Uomunlten in the House. He baa invariably opposed all leading reforms, by w boinsoever nnitMist-d, and is nil 'Old Hunker ol tli bluttt stamp.

We clip tho above from the Athcm Meumtger. Otir friend Van Vormks gives the Plain Vmltr a lengthy ami thorough castigaiinn, for all of which we have not room to-day. He should not be surprised at any indication of spile and malica that may appear. 11 r should remember that it la the natural trade of just such papers as the Plain Dealer, 4c, 1o deal in slander and abuse. An Angel from Heaven would not escape their malice. Wo fearlessly assert that there is nut a purer, mora minlest, unassuming and gentlemanly man in Ohio, or any other State, than Sahlki. F. Vinton. Not a spot or blemish rests upon his character; ami the sneer and jibes of stirh thing! as the Plain Denier ran only excite contempt and dingust in tho minds of intelligent men of all parlies, Mr Vim on hat been a long lime in Congress. His career as a statesman has been not only substantial but brilliant. No man who has served in Congress with him, ami who has any regard to self respect and justice, will deny that ho lias beon of vast service to tho nation. The opinions of no man wore sought after with more avidity or regarded willi ninro respect.

K. Crane, Rsq., tho very gentlemanly proprietor of tho Panorama of tho HudHon Uiver, Scenes in Virginia, &.c. Mr. Crane informs us that lie shall open (he exhibition on Monday evening, at the Odoon. From tho excoeding beauty of the sennery iiiat U ilcdioeatrd, as well as the higft n.puiatfou ot tho paintings ns works of art, and the fuvomblo notices ol the press where they have been exhibited, wo think wo can safely promise our citizens a rare treat. There is no variety of amusement that is so innocent, and at tho same time so interesting, as the views of a well executed Panorama. We shall refer to these moro in detail hereafter. 17 We shall wait for further accounts from Cuba with some interest. The statements that reached us by the lust arrival are so contradictory and mixed up that we have placed no groat reliance upon any of them. If tho peoplo of the Islund havo really taken the business in hand, and have determed to throw oil' the Spanish yoke, thou there will he serious times for the Government forces. The inhabitants, if united, could triumph, and would havo Iho sympathy of other nations, Hut if tho revolt has no strength mid favor with the masses of the population, and is only mi ouihreak fostered and encouraged by outside inlluoiie.es, it will be put down, und will not seriously disturb tho business of the is land.

A grant id' the Hume pi ivib-go has betu made lo Mr. Segur, oi Graiiada, representing certain Nuw Orleans capitalists; and it is Haiti, to the Panama Company also thus, in fact, throwing upon tho whole business ot passenger transit through the country. The ground taken hy tho Gov ernment is, that the entire contract or grant is forfeited by ii h terms, in the first place it was grunted on the condition and with the unneistauding llnit the United Suites should guars nice tho neutrality and independence of the line of the Canal, as in the casoof Pmiaiiia which by the burking of the Squier treaty it has failed , to do. Second, thai by the terms of Ihe contract, the I bonafidt construction of the Canal should have boen commenced in September, 185(1, whit h was not done. I lie engineer sent out annul ttiat timo ennhm d them selves simply to the survey and construction of a transit road from Lake Nicarngua lo iho Pacific, doing untiling in respect to a cuiinl. The exclusive prant referred to was mado with a view ol facilitating the construction ol Iho Canal, and not to be made the subject of speculaiion in the carrying of passengers to tho exclusion and at the ox peuso ol Iho lyaiuil. Ii is rumored, alto, that the entire Canal grant will be revoked at the session of the Legislativn Chambers, in January, not only tor Iho amne reasons, but also because the quanlii d protection to the work contem plated by the Clayton and Ibilwer treaty is also for feited. Hy the ?lh Article of I hut treaty it is agreed that the pioicfiiou of (iretit Hritaiu and the United Stales fiotilil be atlorttttl to such wrsons or company, as houh) have expended money or labor on account ol that enterprise, provided that " triVAin one year ater the exchange oj ratification!, they should " complete Mor ar rangements, and promt rrulenee of timeient capital tub- tenia d to acevinpith the propoted undertaking " Such arrangements, it is well uudciAtood, have not been inmle, nor nuy such amount ol capital auoscrihed I ho raOlieallons relcrn tl towero exrhaiigi'd July 4, lH.it I, unit consequently iho year expired on tho 4lh ultimo. At the time the exclusive grant of interior naviga tion was annul led the entire i Inn ter would have shared Iho same tale but lor the reason that it was deter mined to await what action might bu taken under the above clause In the llnlwer treaty. The company, some Dine ago, endeavored lo procuro n separation ol the grant respecting canalization, I mm the conceaniou re. spectiug interior stenui navigation, on the ground that the two had no real coiim-ctiuii. It seems that lliey have been taken al their own representations, and that Nicaragua(nodoiiht rightly) behewa that her interests will be best subserved by ihrewing open the transportation of passengers to cninpotion. It is reported that tin recent departure ol Mr. Vnn deibillaud others, for Nicaragua, was precipitated hy the nliove information, which bus hitherto leen care fully kept secret, The oeiiernl dissatisfaction at what, in Nicaragua, is regarded as a betrayal of their conlidonco and interests by the United Stales, no doubt has Soinclhiti!; to do with the aotivo proceedings. i rtimne.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 6, lSr.l Cult ii. it gives us pleasure to find tho following in the Wash ington Union. It comports exactly with our ideas of duty and the laws of the laud. We ask every good citizen to consider that while we sympathise with those who really desire to throw off a galling yoke of bondage, wo at the sume timo have a duty to perform aa citizens of our own country, " The restraints of law aro the only safeguards of liberty, for without law, there can be no liberty," and while we have a treaty with Spain, which, by the Constitution is nmdebiudiug upon every citizen us the law of the laud, we should he careful to observe its stipulations. Government cannot prevent private individuals from leaving our country and going to Cuba to assist in tho revolution ; and, if tho people of Cuba Jenire a change, would not prevent it if they could. Hut it is their sworn duty to prevent armed parties from leaving our shores in a hostilo manner, to attack tho citizens or troops of another government, with which wo have treaty stipulations. Our government must uso lis in lluence and power to prevent all such hostile demo list rations from our shores, it must do this in good faith, and with a design to mako it effectual to pre vont all such armed demonstrations, or it is recreant to its duty, and regardless of tho requirements of tliut sol emu oath which ought to bind t lie conscience and control the acts of our rulers. It is worse thun mere dein agogtieiftm for any man to censure our government for using ill power to prevent armed forces from leaving our coasts for Cuba. Such an act is, by tho law of the land, a minlcmeanor, and all persons whu do it, or who attempt to do it, violute the law, and aro liable to bo indicted and punished; and if they escape from our shores and arrive nt a foreign state, they put themselves beyond tho protection of our government, and must run the chnnco of the game they a lie nipt lo play. If it is successful, they may reap the reward ol that triumph. If it is crushed, and they nro taken prisoners, they must bo content to choose between being shot or being hung, if even this boon is left ihem. Government, lin n, has a clear, plain, and explicit duty to perform. If any citizen wishes to take part in the fight, let him go to Cuba, as u citizen, and not do-part from our shores as an armed soldier. Hy so doing, ho will escupo the violation, and Iho penally of the law, ami can be as patriotic us he chooses. II this disturbance in Cuba ia continued, we shall expect to seo plenty of a huso of the Pienidchl for doing his duly, and paying regard to his oath of ollicc. We trust our citizens will bear in mind these re mat lis, and remember, that tho following, iu corroboration of our views of duty, is taken from Iho W'athington Union of Aug. 1st., the organ of the Loco loco parly of the nation : " it is unnecessary for us to say that we sympathize deeply with any respectable organization in Cuba which has attempted to throw off lite galling nnd op-prcscivo yoke of Spain. Hut, at the same lime, nor feelings id' svmpnlby will not and cannot induce us to give any countenance or e neon rage m cut to any wrongful expeditious from the United States. The lestraiuts of law are the only Hilcgtiards of liherty ; for without law there can b no liberty. The act of 181K is clear, plain, and explicit; and that act is in full fuice and vigor within iho United Stales, and for three miles-one marine league beyond the const." A I'v l4t4'.i--Fii-;itiv IVom .1uMir. The San Antonio (Texas) Ledger contain a long ud-diess lo tho people of To as, by ouo T. ,1. Chamiikr., who is a candidate for Governor of Unit State. In glancing over the document wo caught a now idea, born of bis fertile brain. Ho is speaking of the fad that their slaves run awuy lo Mexico, and ho thought if ho were Governor ho could fix up some treaty with tho adjoining Mexican States hy virtue of which they could be got back. The plan is to pass a law making it a crime for a tlave to etcapc from hit matter, and then, undercover of the provision of our treaty with Mexico, r the mirrcmlor of " fugitives from ju-tu e," demand iieir return. Here is a new idci. Suppose Virginia, and Mary land, and Kentucky try it. Sitppoio Hie Legislatures nt inose omten wnetmoj nnnet tnnt Ttto Bet in a ts in running away from the service of his master is u crime or which the said alavo shall bo punished by impris onment in the county jail or state penitentiary 1 Sup pose the said slave escapes and gets to Canada; und supposo the Governor of Virginia should send a requisition for said slave to the Governor of Jb r Majesty's province of Canada, and by virtue of our treaty stipu lations with Grent Hritnlll, for the delivery of "fugi tives from juMice," demand the return of said fugitive 7 hat would the Governor of Canada probably say to this! Would he surrender the slavuf Dor any person think this would bo done? Wo apprehend it would not help the case. Tho dovico would be too shallow, the pretext too Hi may to succeed. So with this new idea in Texas. Tho Mexican Government ould hardly surrender on such a pretext. True, if t hoy rel'usod, it might be a most excellent and sufficient pretext for picking a quarrol with them, and, by ny nt indemnity for tho past mid security for the fu ture, taking a few ilmusund square miles id' their terri tory. Rut wo shall hardly attempt the same kind of game toward Great Britain. We think Mr. Chamumis nuidit to he eh cud Gover nor for starting this now scheme for catching runaway itves. Virictniti Constitution linMteil. Tim lirhmoHtt Whig comes to us with the new con stitution of Virginia, which, alter an eight month' session, bus been adopted by (heir Constitutional Cnuven-lion. It occupies six columuH of the " M7ti," beine ut the same length as the new Constitution of Ohio. We think we will publish it entire very soon, that our iple may see the fundamenlal law of the Old Do minion. II has yet lo he adopted by the iieople, but ie Whig slates that it will bo continued by a large majority. 'I he Democrats hail the control of the Convention, bjit some of tho leaders among them voted against it. Among them we see the name of Mr. Ma son, the President ol the body. We clipfrotu the Whig the notice id the close of the Convention : At 4 o'clock the Convention re-assembled ami nro ceded to the rending ol the Constitution and Schedule. as reorlcd from the Committee on Revision, preparatory to tho engrossment.

Some days since we stated, un the authority of the Pennsylvania papers, that th, whole nf the public debt of that State had been contracted under Locofuro administrations, and that during lite six years of Whig rule, nothing had been added to it, but tliut Gov. Joiin-son had managed so as to juy on" al least half a million of it. The Dayton Empire quoted our paragraph, and wry oracularly proceeded lo denounce tho statement as falsa, without, however, producing the least evidence to sustain itself, We now have the pleasureil domonsirating to the Empire, that our statement wjs true, and that its con fident assertions were entirely incorrect. Wo shall look to them to retract their tu vrtinn.or forfeit a share of the respect wo havo entertained for the editor of that paper. Wo ask them to read the followiug nrtide from a lato number of tho Uarritburgh American, a daily paper printed at the capital of that Shite: Who in a tie our Pali Mr Drbt ' Head nnd Hee. The vision of our enormous public debt haunts the dreams of Locoloco editors and politicians. Wo don't wonder at this, (in ill renders ite subjects resiles and unoasy, and a moro open and during outrage upon the rights of our citizens never was perpmmled, than when Locoloco legislators built up a huge public debt for succeeding generations to pay.

TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 18fl. I.ocofoco Stuto Convention. To-morrow, the Locofoco State Convention will assemble in this city, to make their nominations fur the Slate ticket. Delegate are beginning in nssemble.'hnu' candidates are on hand, ready to do ilia agreeoblo to tho sovereigns as they arrive. Wo presume Gov. Wood will be renominated by general consent. For Lieutenant Governor, wo think the chance for Mkdiij. it the hunt, though Vali.anohj-ham will have warm supporters. Either of them would make fair candidates. For Auditor, thero are sovernl claimants. I)ihmick was nominated by the caucus last winter, when the election took place ill the Legislature, and when it was very properly supposed there was no chance for hit success, lint now that there is louiothingliko a chance, he will bo thrust aside, and nine now man selected. The truth in, the jmrty has no confidence in Dimmock, either fur enpneity or judgment. Seine one else will be selected. Fur Treasurer, wo think Holmes, of Cincinnati, will be the man. Uhkbun will fight hard for it ; but it in nnt forgotten that he belong! to that net of Young Men whu wanted to hold a Convention last spring, but who wore clinked oft by the Old Hunkers of the party. Bue-un will be beaten; murk that. For Secretary of Slate, tho candidates aro numerous, and among tliono who are on hand, wo notice our friend and old fellow towim man, Musk, of Morgnn. We have funned no opinion of tho prohablo nominee and will decline the tosk of guessing, to-day. I'teit will probably be nominated ai Attorney General. The candidates for Judges, &c, wo will auimumo on Thursday morning. We will goom, in advance, that Si'amhno will not be one ol them, lint, noifi verront. Whose Ihisiiicsn is it! The very darkest, moat dreary and most dangerous place in or about this city to he passed after night fall, is the bridge over tho Scioto. We have heanl of ncci dents there, and we know it would bo a capital pint for villian and cutlbrout scoundrels to con tin it depredations. Thin bridge ought to be lighted and mutt be. Wu nil ii 1 1 have the Stale Fair here in a tew weeks. Thousand will have occasion to pass the bridge from and to the cily, after dark. Teams w ill be passing ami re-paasitig during lbs Fair at all hours. We call the attention of our citizens to this subject. Our physicians, who aro compelled to cross the bridge idler durk, know nnd feel the Importance of lights therein, It thould be lighted with gus. A burner near each end, and one in tho middle, would be just the thing. The city should pay the ox pel inn, llm same as it does for the other lights ulmiit town. Will our peoplo think mid talk about this for a very short time, and alter finding out whose business it ia, aet upon it, nod u uru tit tn tie-sirable end 7 We have broken the ice.

A Word to Mm of nil I'iirlh". No sooner is it known that tho nomination of lion. Samuel F. Vinton will receive the united support of the Whig parly, and carry with it a tower of strength in securing the success nl the entire ticket, than the most untiring and unscrupulous means aro used and the most slanderous accusations are set utlut 1o injure Ilia good name and defeat bis election. We have not new the time or tho room to speak in dciail of the unfounded charges now being circulated to thocllect Hint he was opposed to the " Bounty Lund Hill ; " that he voted for the Fugitive Slave Law;" Unit "he has always beeu fugleman for Southern members" &.c, Arc those will he attended to in duo timo but we have before us an article coming from the mouth-piece nnd nrgnn of Gov. Wood, the Ckvtlnnti Plain Dealer, not only belioiug Mr. Vinton himself, but grosly slnn doring and insulting the population of the "glorious Old Twelfth District, " which deserves from m immediate and more than ordinary attention. H- ro is the article : " Samuel F Vinton, in aucioul limes, wits known as a little spectacled Lawyer, ot but imblb-rent abilities, residing in the notorious lilllo town of ialliolu, ot burst I mnk memory. Some twelve year ngo, lie was sent to Congress, where for a long timo his light was entirely hid, by being put under a hnhel, or eclipsed by those more radiant in abilities. At length, outliving most of his contemporaries, mid gelling thoroughly anpiainted with the rules of thn I louse, be became something of an adept an a ttetiiion, and was hiuhlv serviceaulo to the Old Hunkers, whenever they want ed to on tin ami ue, the rroi'rosaivoa and to stave ol) auv measure of reform. In this capacity, he haaalwnys been fugleman for Southern members, an the records ot debates in the Mouse lor Hie last lilletm years w abundantly show. He has stood bv them when not another Whig delegate from Ohio would, nnd has uniformly voted with them. He was the Southern candi date for Speaker when Winthrop ws elected ; but, by on arrangement, withdrew ami was apHiuied Chairman of tho most imiNirtaut Uomunlten in the House. He baa invariably opposed all leading reforms, by w boinsoever nnitMist-d, and is nil 'Old Hunker ol tli bluttt stamp. His voles will be found rrcordod arainst band Kelm-m in wvery hiue pven oniHtainy Itounlv Land to soldiers. Vet in all this Mr. in ton his ht'n honest and sincure. ami, in the muiu, represented bis constituents truly, for whoever has traveled in that be liigbted ilistrict of ' Alliens, Gull in mid Meigs,' know that the peoplo there are still using wiNnleii ploughs and tho children study Dilworth's Spelling Hook. We clip tho above from the Athcm Meumtger. Otir friend Van Vormks gives the Plain Vmltr a lengthy ami thorough castigaiinn, for all of which we have not room to-day. He should not be surprised at any indication of spile and malica that may appear. 11 r should remember that it la the natural trade of just such papers as the Plain Dealer, 4c, 1o deal in slander and abuse. An Angel from Heaven would not escape their malice. Wo fearlessly assert that there is nut a purer, mora minlest, unassuming and gentlemanly man in Ohio, or any other State, than Sahlki. F. Vinton. Not a spot or blemish rests upon his character; ami the sneer and jibes of stirh thing! as the Plain Denier ran only excite contempt and dingust in tho minds of intelligent men of all parlies, Mr Vim on hat been a long lime in Congress. His career as a statesman has been not only substantial but brilliant. No man who has served in Congress with him, ami who has any regard to self respect and justice, will deny that ho lias beon of vast service to tho nation. The opinions of no man wore sought after with more avidity or regarded willi ninro respect.

From tho excoeding beauty of the sennery iiiat U ilcdioeatrd, as well as the higft n.puiatfou ot tho paintings ns works of art, and the fuvomblo notices ol the press where they have been exhibited, wo think wo can safely promise our citizens a rare treat. There is no variety of amusement that is so innocent, and at tho same time so interesting, as the views of a well executed Panorama. We shall refer to these moro in detail hereafter. 17 We shall wait for further accounts from Cuba with some interest.

A grant id' the Hume pi ivib-go has betu made lo Mr. Segur, oi Graiiada, representing certain Nuw Orleans capitalists; and it is Haiti, to the Panama Company also thus, in fact, throwing upon tho whole business ot passenger transit through the country. The ground taken hy tho Gov ernment is, that the entire contract or grant is forfeited by ii h terms, in the first place it was grunted on the condition and with the unneistauding llnit the United Suites should guars nice tho neutrality and independence of the line of the Canal, as in the casoof Pmiaiiia which by the burking of the Squier treaty it has failed , to do. Second, thai by the terms of Ihe contract, the I bonafidt construction of the Canal should have boen commenced in September, 185(1, whit h was not done. I lie engineer sent out annul ttiat timo ennhm d them selves simply to the survey and construction of a transit road from Lake Nicarngua lo iho Pacific, doing untiling in respect to a cuiinl. The exclusive prant referred to was mado with a view ol facilitating the construction ol Iho Canal, and not to be made the subject of speculaiion in the carrying of passengers to tho exclusion and at the ox peuso ol Iho lyaiuil. Ii is rumored, alto, that the entire Canal grant will be revoked at the session of the Legislativn Chambers, in January, not only tor Iho amne reasons, but also because the quanlii d protection to the work contem plated by the Clayton and Ibilwer treaty is also for feited. Hy the ?lh Article of I hut treaty it is agreed that the pioicfiiou of (iretit Hritaiu and the United Stales fiotilil be atlorttttl to such wrsons or company, as houh) have expended money or labor on account ol that enterprise, provided that " triVAin one year ater the exchange oj ratification!, they should " complete Mor ar rangements, and promt rrulenee of timeient capital tub- tenia d to acevinpith the propoted undertaking " Such arrangements, it is well uudciAtood, have not been inmle, nor nuy such amount ol capital auoscrihed I ho raOlieallons relcrn tl towero exrhaiigi'd July 4, lH.it I, unit consequently iho year expired on tho 4lh ultimo. At the time the exclusive grant of interior naviga tion was annul led the entire i Inn ter would have shared Iho same tale but lor the reason that it was deter mined to await what action might bu taken under the above clause In the llnlwer treaty. The company, some Dine ago, endeavored lo procuro n separation ol the grant respecting canalization, I mm the conceaniou re. spectiug interior stenui navigation, on the ground that the two had no real coiim-ctiuii. It seems that lliey have been taken al their own representations, and that Nicaragua(nodoiiht rightly) behewa that her interests will be best subserved by ihrewing open the transportation of passengers to cninpotion. It is reported that tin recent departure ol Mr. Vnn deibillaud others, for Nicaragua, was precipitated hy the nliove information, which bus hitherto leen care fully kept secret, The oeiiernl dissatisfaction at what, in Nicaragua, is regarded as a betrayal of their conlidonco and interests by the United Stales, no doubt has Soinclhiti!; to do with the aotivo proceedings. i rtimne.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 6, lSr.l Cult ii. it gives us pleasure to find tho following in the Wash ington Union. It comports exactly with our ideas of duty and the laws of the laud. We ask every good citizen to consider that while we sympathise with those who really desire to throw off a galling yoke of bondage, wo at the sume timo have a duty to perform aa citizens of our own country, " The restraints of law aro the only safeguards of liberty, for without law, there can be no liberty," and while we have a treaty with Spain, which, by the Constitution is nmdebiudiug upon every citizen us the law of the laud, we should he careful to observe its stipulations. Government cannot prevent private individuals from leaving our country and going to Cuba to assist in tho revolution ; and, if tho people of Cuba Jenire a change, would not prevent it if they could. Hut it is their sworn duty to prevent armed parties from leaving our shores in a hostilo manner, to attack tho citizens or troops of another government, with which wo have treaty stipulations. Our government must uso lis in lluence and power to prevent all such hostile demo list rations from our shores, it must do this in good faith, and with a design to mako it effectual to pre vont all such armed demonstrations, or it is recreant to its duty, and regardless of tho requirements of tliut sol emu oath which ought to bind t lie conscience and control the acts of our rulers. It is worse thun mere dein agogtieiftm for any man to censure our government for using ill power to prevent armed forces from leaving our coasts for Cuba. Such an act is, by tho law of the land, a minlcmeanor, and all persons whu do it, or who attempt to do it, violute the law, and aro liable to bo indicted and punished; and if they escape from our shores and arrive nt a foreign state, they put themselves beyond tho protection of our government, and must run the chnnco of the game they a lie nipt lo play. If it is successful, they may reap the reward ol that triumph. If it is crushed, and they nro taken prisoners, they must bo content to choose between being shot or being hung, if even this boon is left ihem. Government, lin n, has a clear, plain, and explicit duty to perform. If any citizen wishes to take part in the fight, let him go to Cuba, as u citizen, and not do-part from our shores as an armed soldier. Hy so doing, ho will escupo the violation, and Iho penally of the law, ami can be as patriotic us he chooses. II this disturbance in Cuba ia continued, we shall expect to seo plenty of a huso of the Pienidchl for doing his duly, and paying regard to his oath of ollicc. We trust our citizens will bear in mind these re mat lis, and remember, that tho following, iu corroboration of our views of duty, is taken from Iho W'athington Union of Aug. 1st., the organ of the Loco loco parly of the nation : " it is unnecessary for us to say that we sympathize deeply with any respectable organization in Cuba which has attempted to throw off lite galling nnd op-prcscivo yoke of Spain. Hut, at the same lime, nor feelings id' svmpnlby will not and cannot induce us to give any countenance or e neon rage m cut to any wrongful expeditious from the United States. The lestraiuts of law are the only Hilcgtiards of liherty ; for without law there can b no liberty.

In glancing over the document wo caught a now idea, born of bis fertile brain. Ho is speaking of the fad that their slaves run awuy lo Mexico, and ho thought if ho were Governor ho could fix up some treaty with tho adjoining Mexican States hy virtue of which they could be got back. The plan is to pass a law making it a crime for a tlave to etcapc from hit matter, and then, undercover of the provision of our treaty with Mexico, r the mirrcmlor of " fugitives from ju-tu e," demand iieir return. Here is a new idci. Suppose Virginia, and Mary land, and Kentucky try it. Sitppoio Hie Legislatures nt inose omten wnetmoj nnnet tnnt Ttto Bet in a ts in running away from the service of his master is u crime or which the said alavo shall bo punished by impris onment in the county jail or state penitentiary 1 Sup pose the said slave escapes and gets to Canada; und supposo the Governor of Virginia should send a requisition for said slave to the Governor of Jb r Majesty's province of Canada, and by virtue of our treaty stipu lations with Grent Hritnlll, for the delivery of "fugi tives from juMice," demand the return of said fugitive 7 hat would the Governor of Canada probably say to this! Would he surrender the slavuf Dor any person think this would bo done? Wo apprehend it would not help the case. Tho dovico would be too shallow, the pretext too Hi may to succeed. So with this new idea in Texas. Tho Mexican Government ould hardly surrender on such a pretext. True, if t hoy rel'usod, it might be a most excellent and sufficient pretext for picking a quarrol with them, and, by ny nt indemnity for tho past mid security for the fu ture, taking a few ilmusund square miles id' their terri tory. Rut wo shall hardly attempt the same kind of game toward Great Britain. We think Mr. Chamumis nuidit to he eh cud Gover nor for starting this now scheme for catching runaway itves.

Some days since we stated, un the authority of the Pennsylvania papers, that th, whole nf the public debt of that State had been contracted under Locofuro administrations, and that during lite six years of Whig rule, nothing had been added to it, but tliut Gov. Joiin-son had managed so as to juy on" al least half a million of it. The Dayton Empire quoted our paragraph, and wry oracularly proceeded lo denounce tho statement as falsa, without, however, producing the least evidence to sustain itself, We now have the pleasureil domonsirating to the Empire, that our statement wjs true, and that its con fident assertions were entirely incorrect. Wo shall look to them to retract their tu vrtinn.or forfeit a share of the respect wo havo entertained for the editor of that paper. Wo ask them to read the followiug nrtide from a lato number of tho Uarritburgh American, a daily paper printed at the capital of that Shite: Who in a tie our Pali Mr Drbt ' Head nnd Hee. The vision of our enormous public debt haunts the dreams of Locoloco editors and politicians. Wo don't wonder at this, (in ill renders ite subjects resiles and unoasy, and a moro open and during outrage upon the rights of our citizens never was perpmmled, than when Locoloco legislators built up a huge public debt for succeeding generations to pay. We wish the people to see who mado this debt, and lo do ho, wo will use official documcntt which may he relied upon. The report of John N.
